Minty Nails

So I had a hand/foot spa at Nail Tropics Greenbelt 2 Saturdays ago. It was wonderful to say the least. I also had an extended back massage as my scolio is acting up pretty bad these days. There are only 3 people there that I trust – Rosel, Melai and Carol. These ladies are wonderful. They are very professional, polite and nice. Sometimes funny even. It’s nice to chat with them while I’m having a treatment. I’ve been observing the others and I’m convinced that I have the best 3. One time, one of my best friends and I got a pedi. The nail artisan that she got was very lousy. She was on fast forward mode. Both M and I thought that she did a bad job. Sure she did the job but not at the level and quality that we were hoping to get. This nail artisan even got annoyed that my friend fell asleep for a while. That’s supposed to be the whole point! She needed to relax and nap a little. She woke up when the treatment was done but she still couldn’t leave as the polish was still wet and my pedi was not done yet. So why was the artisan making faces? Haayy..

I’ve been meaning to share this nail polish color but I just keep forgetting to take a photo. I was only able to remember when I saw that the  nail polish was already chipping off!

Apologies for the not so perfect nails

I soooo love this color! It makes me feel relaxed and when my eyes are tired, I just stare at my nails. They say that looking at blues and greens helps tired eyes relax.

    Great color!! I will definitely consider buying that! I have a ton of doubles in my nail polish collection and I'm thinking of having a blog sale of the TFS nail polishes that I have duplicates of. :))

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
